patches of the 3rd state that Father Nc
Glynn is out in SIX column letter in
Henry Georges paper, the Standard, re-
verting to the famous controversy. The
letter was an answer to the statement OF
the matter made by Archbishop Corrigan
few days ago. It begins as follows:
The letter of August, 1882, from Cardinal
Simeoni to which Archbishop Corrigan
refers / am not now able to find, but it is
true, as he states, that this letter com
planned of my land league speeches as
openly and entirely contrary to the
teachings of the Catholic church. The
doctrines thus stigmatized were those

namely: That all men are equally enti-
tied to use the great bonnties of nature,
including land as we'll AS sunlight, air and
water, and that human laws ought to be
changed so as to conform to this dictate Of
natural justice. / affirm that while ae
knowledging the right of exclusive indus
try [ would at the same time counsel those
who enjoy exclusively larger or choieer
portions of the bounties Of nature to pay
to the community an equality in the way
of taxation to the amount of the rental
value. 1t is absolutely false, although
stated by Archbishop Corrigan on the au
thority of ardinal McClosky, that [ ac-
know]edged my errors and professed to be
sorry for them. On the contrary, in my
interview with Card inal McClosky re-
affirmed this doctrine and explained and
defended it. told him substantially that
knew my theology well enough not to
sin against it ignorantly and that / loved
my religion to- well to sin against it will

from making land league speeches, not

one to forbid me, but because know too

iors to impair and almost destroy my use

McGlynn then gives 1T length two letters

A Washington special says Foran, of

you ought to be removed as we'll as Haley.
Neither your country nor your party de-
sire your services, and you ought to have
the grace to sep down and out" Sparks
replied: ''Ycar constituents said plainly
at the last election that you were not the
man to represent them; you are the last
man to tell me to get out of office. Now,
Mr.. Forsn, you get out of this office at
once; if you don't [ will put you out.
With this Sparks started for Foran, who
did not stop any longer.

A Wreck ON the Northern Pacific,
Special to the River Press.

Special to the River Press.
BILLINGS, February 1.-The Pacific ex-
press struck broken rail three miles east
of Saltwater. NJ. T., at 8 p. m. The en-
gine got over safely, but the postal and
dining coaches were derailed. Two bag
gage cars and the two second class cars
were hurled down to the Yellowstone and
badly demolished. Fortunately apart
from severe shaking up and some bruis-
es no one was hurt. The passengers in
the two Pullmans felt but slight shock
All hands worked on the wreck until 10:-
80 when the dining car and coach were
replaced on the track and with the Pull
mans were hauled back to Park City.
Commodore Power and wife and Fl. T..
Oliver of Helena are aboard.
HELENA, February 3.-1he first through
train and mail on the Northern Pacific
since last Saturday, arrived last night.
T. e. Power and wife, who were on the
wrecked train at Saltwater, arrived all
safe, and report having experienced no
suffering Or inconvenience except several
hours delay. The wreck was a fearful
one. The coaches that went over slid
down on to the Yellowstone on the ice,
but not a soul was injured. The trains
from the east are side-tracked here, and
cannot 60 further west, owing to the fact
that two or three locomotives are dead
and frozen up on the main track between
here and Garrison. There are also one or
two freight trains on the main track.
There has been no train from the west
since last Saturday, and will not be until
the track can be cleared. The railroad
officials are making superhuman exertions
to keep the track clear, but the elements
are too much for them. There are said
to be altogether fourteen locomotives tied
up between here and Garrison.

The Right of Way Bill.

WASHINGTON, February 1.-The senate
has adopted rule that house bills shall
have precedence. This places the Manito-
ba right OF way bill twenty-fifth in order
on the files. Intervening bills are not inn
portant and it is thought it will be reached
not later than the first of the ensuing
week. The bill is without objections
since Dawes amendment perfected it and
the president is pledged to sign it in this
form, which requires the filing of the pro-
file of the definite line of location with
specifications for only 120 feet of right of
way. This the Manitoba is probably pre-
pared to do now on short notice.

They Get Caught in Terrible Storm, and
Are Now Snow-bound at Choteau-
Other Storm Notes.
snecial to the River Press.

Special to the River Press.
Fort SHAW, February 3.-Your cores
pondent is just in receipt Of a letter from
CT Larabee, Indian commissioner. The
commission arrived at Ch0teau on Friday
night; they were caught in heavy storm
three miles from town, but succeeded in
reaching Choteau after hard struggle.
They have been showed up there ever
since. They report thermometer $50 to
400 below zero; snow fourteen to sixteen
inches deep; weather so cold that when
changing commissioners team from one
stable to another, distant about two hum
dred yards, the scout aud driver had ears,
cheeks and chin frozen.
This letter is the first communication
the commissioners have had with the out
side world since Friday.
There is terrible scarcity of wood in
Choteau: and if storm continues, fences
and unoccupied houses will have to be
used. From six to eight thousand head
of cattle are strung along the Teton, driv-
en- from the hills by the storm. They are
suffering terribly from lack of food.
It is impossible for the commission to
lesye Choteau until weather moderates,
and snow clears from the roads.
The last Choteau coach has turned up
all safe. 1t arrived at Choteau and at
tempted to return, but failed; laid up at
Choteau. The coach started yesterday
and arrived at Sun River last night; Ben
STEEL was-on board, and had ears frozen.
The paymaster's transportation return
ed to-day from Flat creek, unable to go
farther on account of deep snow. Forty
nine below zero here this morning; a
slight snow now.

WASHINGTON, February 7.-Secretary
Manning, in a lengthy reply to the request
Of the house committee on foreign affairs
for his views with regard to the house and
senate fishery bills, gives most interest
ing presentation Of the points at issue be-
tween the two countries. He discusses all
the different treaties upon the subject
made at different times between the two
countries and says: 81 cannot believe
that the government at London will per-
sist in its present course unless inspired
for some occult reason by q purpose to
to break the friendly relations with our
selves under the will and at the mercy of
its colony" In considering the bill sub
mitted to him Secretary Manning says
that he is extremely reluctant to discuss
any bill which, after debate. has been
adopted in the senate by vote so unani-
nous, and he does SO on only the point of
view Of the need Of the treasury depart
ment, to which will be committed the ex-
ecution of the proclamation issued by the
president under the proposed measure, if
it shall become law. s'If," he says, "the
senate bill shall become law and the
president shall issue his proclamation
Hereunder, besides putting an end to
transient traffic, its effect will be to ex-
clude from importation Canadian free
goods, such as certain kinds of fish, lum-

revenue by preventing the importation Of
Canadian dutiable products, such as lum-
ber, breadstuffs, fish, etc., in value some
$22 100000, to the extent of $400, 900,
which will be the probable duties collect
